-: Ball State for me was kind of a starting point
and honestly where I started to again,
gain some confidence in my own self
and some of the decision making.
I actually started as an Exercise Science major
and kind of found an affinity for
the science side of things
and moved into chemistry not necessarily due to
my love for chemistry,
but because that was a good step.
I knew that that was a good job
and I was really honestly looking for something
on the commodity or business side of chemistry.
So chemical sales.
So I knew that that degree by itself
would put me into that category,
but honestly what it taught me was how to problem solve.
Because I was not a bench chemist,
that was not my strong point by any means.
But learning how to force myself to focus,
take distractions away from problem solving,
sit down, get some things done.
But again, time management, stress management
those were the two big things
that I learned from Ball State.
